Went to the Pull a Part and found two Dodge Neon seats, going to mount them this weekend.

my name is John and the new owner of a 1982 sj410k, this little pickup was on a golf course parked behind a shed for 6 years then in an orchard for 3 more before it was posted on line under a salvage topic. Most every one I know have been looking for one of these for me for years so when I was told about the add I followed up only to find it was the one I had been trying to buy for years. this little truck is in rough shape allot of rust, motor half missing, but it's a 410k.

hello all,
well, i just joined the forum in the hopes that i can learn and experience a few things.
i have always liked the Suzuki samurai. growing up my best friend's dad had a handfull of sammys and we would always take them out to play. so as it is i pretty much learned how to drive a standard in a Sammy. here i am almost 13 years later and i still love the little 4x4's! i have always wanted my own. and after the last couple of winters we have had here my wife said to me that it would be great to have a 4 wheel drive.  so i told her i know just what to get.... and my mission is about over, here within the next couple of weeks i will be getting my very own samurai! and that is what has brought me here today. to be able to find pros/cons of the little beast and to gain technical information and knowledge of it. I've always been a fan and i am happy to say i am about to be an owner of an 87 samurai. i plan to get pictures taken and posted after i figure out how to navigate the forum a little better.

i look forward to getting to know a few Suzuki junkies here.

Is my intro link.

Here's my latest, the day I bought it, unacceptable.

Here we are now, 2 inch shackle and 3 inch body lift, with 245/75 R16's.

That's all for now, as it's currently my 16 year old daughters daily driver.
Next year I'll get it back and start a full off-road build. 

P.S. I am looking for a set of 4:1 T/C gears so she can have 5th gear back if anyone has a set lying around.

I see you're from TEXAS !!
A very CLEAN rig from the start !!
We don't see many Sammy's that are not RUSTED up to the door handles up here in Wisconsin.

With the tire size you NOW have, I would recommend a 4.9 transfer case;
You will get 5th gear back, and still have some great low range gears.

CAPT

Capt., can you enlighten me one the 4.9 T/C gears? Why would that be more preferable than the 4.1?
I'm just curious, shooting blind as I have no experience and 4.1 has been mentioned more than any other.
Don't take that wrong, I sincerely want to know and am here to learn and don't want to do something I'll regret and have to correct later.
Pm or email me if you'd prefer so we don't jack this thread. I'll even pm you my contact number to talk/text if you'd prefer.
Thank you in advance.

My name is Jake, im 17,im in Australia and this is my 1.6 ltr 1994 Suzuki Sierra. 2 inch lifted springs 2 inch body lift 2 inch extended spring hangers and 31x10.5r15 muds.

The way it was when i bought it:



The way it sits now:

Looks good. 

now i can be part of both the tracker and sami sections of the forum! just bought this 86ish tintop sami today. my buddy bought it for 600$ for the axles for another project he is doing and i bought the rest for 300$. i think  i will be putting toyota axles under it since sami axles are so hard to come by here. the thing is built like a brick pooper. was built for the trails around here and is solid as a rock. has the 1300 in it and it seems to run really nice. the gas tank is a boat fuel tank in the back.

Pre-damaged is the best way to pick up a wheeler. Then you don't feel bad about the additional dents you put in it.
